This bike is has been ridden ONCE! I bought this for my wife as a surprise and and "surprise" she doesn't want it! After a year or so of hoping that she would change her mind I have come to realise that the bike is never going to be used again. So we are putting it up for sale. The bike cost $3750 when purchased in 2008 and would suit a new buyer.
THE FRAME The Gara is for the discerning buyer who realizes that quality comes at a price, and a very reasonable price at that! Every model in the Eddy Merckx range goes through rigorous testing to ensure that each and every bike produced handles like only a Merckx can, and the Gara is no exception.
Built from well known and respected Dedacciai Fire tubing set, a 7003-T6 aluminium alloy tube. The frame is supplied with an Easton EC70 fork, with an aluminium column. The compliance of ride is achieved with "hourglass" shaped, tapered seat stays. Geometry is the same as all other Eddy Merckx aluminium road models, comparatively long in the top tube and relaxed in the seat angle for longer events where comfort is important.
- Hand crafted from custom drawn Dedacciai Fire tubing, the perfect blend of strength, durability, comfort and affordability.
- The Gara is supplied with an Easton EC70 carbon fork.
- Frame Weight (Painted) 1,420 grams
- 2 Year Factory Warranty
